I recently re-did a HISS in desert camo -- very basic paint job, but very effective I think. (I have since fixed the overspill on the treads, I was too impatient to get these pics taken)
The rest of these are my collection of homemade figures. I don't call them "customs" because they're almost entirely just headswaps and gear swaps. There's a few that I've painted. One idea I stole from a fellow Tanker. No boil-and-pop replaced limbs on any of these guys, this was strictly low tech. But I really like how they came out -- it's neat that with this line you don't have to be an expert to come up with some cool ideas. I particularly like Red Star's head on Shipwreck's body, Buzzer's head on Heavy Metal, Flint's head on ROC Snake Eyes, and Flint's head on the CG. A few other points: I had already put a Gung Ho head on a blue Cobra Resolute trooper, so the Walmart exclusive repaint was bland to me. I took the vest and gave it to the Walmart exclusive Shockwave or whatever they're calling him (in place of the terrible mint green vest he had). Then I took the bandolier of bullets and glued it to form a strap for Gung Ho, and now he's my favorite version of the character. I used the ROC Scrap Iron from the Snake Trax set to make a Night Force Flint. I also used an extra Mindbender and bald, black-kerchief Cobra soldier to make Cobra Brawler. He's meant to be like the big bald guy in Raiders of the Lost Ark who fights Indy by the plane. pics here: dwarvenforge.com / More Joe toys for the SF fans Law |

Nice paint job on the hiss my only comment on it would be on the bottom tan paint got on the tracks. Clean that up and your set!

Nice work on the Hiss Tank, i like the head swaps as well. Flint's head on Red Star's body gives me a good idea for Stormavik.

That first pic of the tank almost looks like there's a working monitor in it, had to look very close to tell that it was a reflection off something. But otherwise, cool tank.

Desert HISS looks great! I'm going to do up a couple of these myself. Haven't decided if I'm going to keep tit simple or try a camo pattern.
